What Does Being a Member Mean?

Membership in the Bexley Women’s Club is not a card in your wallet. It is a place in something that matters.

Since 1935, this club has run on a simple idea, one our founders put beautifully: when women unite, great things happen. Our vision says the rest. We are an engaged women’s network that actively participates in and supports our community through scholastic and social service. In plain terms, we show up, we lift each other, and we leave this community better than we found it.

What we stand for

Everything we do grows from three pillars:

• Community. We build real connection, among our members and across Bexley, through gatherings, traditions, and simply showing up for one another.
• Scholastic. We invest in students and education, most visibly through the scholarships we fund each year.
• Social service. We roll up our sleeves for the neighbors and partners who could use a hand.

Yes, we ask for a little of your time

Let’s be upfront about one thing. Our standing rules ask every member to give a minimum of five hours a year to the club’s service and fundraising. Five hours. For the whole year.

Here is the good news: those are some of the most fun hours you will spend. Five hours can look like handing out cookies at the fall festival, volunteering at Splish Splash and Dash, or spending an afternoon helping bring our signature Home and Garden Tour to life. You will be surrounded by friends, you will be laughing, and you will barely notice you are “serving.” That is rather the point.

What you get back

Give a little, and this club gives back a lot.

You get community: a built-in circle of women to connect with, celebrate with, and lean on. You get a full calendar of things to actually do. And you get something harder to come by, the chance to make a real and visible impact. Through programs like Seeds for Kindness and our scholarship program, your membership becomes help that stays right here, in the hands of the students and neighbors who feel it.

That is what being a member means. Not an obligation, but a belonging, with purpose stitched through it.

When you are ready to plant something good, we would love to have you.
